Did you know that you could have more than one web browser on your computer and use them at the same time?

I was a diehard IE user until I discovered Firefox

About ten years ago, I got my first taste of the Internet while using Netscape on the local library's computer. It was okay. When I got my own computer with Internet access about a year later, I was using Windows 95 and Internet Explorer. With every computer and OS upgrade since then, I stuck with IE if for no other reason than I was familiar with it. That all changed late last year when I became a Googlephile, which happened not too long after I joined AdSense and Xomba. Using Windows XP on this computer, there was some problem with IE7 (after about two months of daily browsing, my CPU would max out at 100% and I would have to ctrl-alt-delete my browser closed). Micro$oft knew about the problem but had no solution. Yes, there were hotfixes on some forums, but the ones I tried didn't work. After reformatting my C drive for yet another time and doing yet another clean installation of XP, I decided that I wasn't going to upgrade from IE6 anymore. After a trip to Google's download page, I downloaded a number of programs, Firefox included. *cue glorious music* I love the tabbed browsing (which IE7 copied) and the browser is so much faster. Plus, because Firefox is a Google product, it interfaces nicely with the Google toolbar--another feature I use often. In short, anyone wanting the best browsing experience possible should seriously consider going to Google's download page to get Firefox. ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING
